Flights arrive and depart on the same day as well.
Hi and welcome to FT!

This itinerary will not be eligible for TWOV. As per the wiki at the top of this page, multi-stop TWOV within China is only permitted at CAN where the first transit point is PEK.

As the journey involves a stop in CTU, boarding will be denied in Bangkok.

Your friend will need to change their travel plans to either remove any additional stops in China, or avoid China outright.
